Help My Family to Flee Genocide

My name is Mohammed Louzon, I reside in Belgium with my wife, Fiena. I grew up in Gaza and my entire family lives there. I am reaching out to the world for help to get them to safety.

There is a genocide in Gaza and they have lost everything.

I hope to evacuate my three brothers Fahed, Abdullah and Bashar, my two sisters-in-law, Haya and Islam, my nieces and nephews, my little sister Sarah and my parents, Said and Mona.

My brother Fahed’s wife Islam, is due to have her baby any day and is terrified of delivering in the conditions they are in. They are worried about how to manage the needs of the baby when it arrives and the medical care they both need.

-My brother Fahed’s wife Islam is pregnant due to date.

In October when this all began, my family was adamant about staying and did not want to leave their home.

They were forced to evacuate their home after it was bombed while they were inside.

They were fortunate to make it out alive as the bomb did not detonate. The rocket had landed into my family’s home and destroyed it. Luckily half of the family had been out of the house at the time sheltering at a relative’s home nearby.

My brother Abdullah came back to our family home moments after the airstrikes and was able to save my father, brothers, sister in laws and their children from the rubble.

Our entire neighborhood is destroyed and all of our relatives have also lost everything.

-- My dad is taking whatever he can from the house remains.

Since then they have been displaced with Gaza multiple times as various places of shelter have become overcrowded or destroyed from air strikes.

-- On the first day of the war, my family, relatives, and loved ones found shelter in our home.

My family to this decision to try to leave Gaza comes with deep sadness but there is no other choice.

It is a matter of life or death at this point. Nothing is left for Gazans to be able to continue living there without great suffering or death.

The journey to safety demands a price

- $7,000 per adult

- $3,500 per child

for the crossing to Egypt, excluding essential expenses.

It is never easy to ask for help but in this time of desperation.

I humbly implore the kindness of strangers to safeguard their future and well-being. Your contribution, regardless of size, holds immeasurable value on their journey to safety.

Please share this message and extend your support to my family.

Every act of compassion and each instance of generosity in this trying time holds priceless significance. Your attention and backing for our cause resonate deeply within our hearts.

Donations are zakat eligible, with validation from a revered scholar for this campaign.

With profound gratitude and an earnest plea for empathy,

Mohammed Louzon
